foo sound synthesis

foo

foo is a sound synthesis tool based on the scheme language, a
clean and powerful lisp dialect. foo is used for high-quality
non-realtime sound synthesis and -processing. By scripting foo
like a shell it is also a neat tool for implementing common tasks like
soundfile conversion, resampling, multichannel extraction etc.

foo does not distinguish between score and patch nor between audio
and control rate and has a simple and powerful temporal semantics. A
control library written in Scheme allows to access these features in
an abstract musical way.

foo was developed by gerhard eckel and ramón
gonzález-arroyo in 1993 at "zentrum für kunst und
medientechnologie" (zkm) in karlsruhe, germany (http://www.zkm.de). its kernel is
written in objective-c for the NeXTStep platform. eleven years
later, a first port to linux has been done using the GNUstep
framework. porting to Cocoa/Mac OS X is also planned. by now,
foo uses the elk scheme interpreter (http://sam.zoy.org/projects/elk/).
